I'm really worried about my grandmother. She's got an infection in her left lung, and now that lung isn't working. She's been on a ventilator, and they've done broncoscopy twice on that lung. But she's still unconscious and dealing with an electrolyte imbalance alongside that lung infection. Are there any methods or treatments that could help get her lung functional again?
